This sounds like yum bug.
libgcj-3.4.1-2 package has:
Obsoletes: libgcj34
and libgcj-devel-3.4.1-2 has:
Obsoletes: libgcj34-devel

Try using a different update program (e.g. up2date) or rpm -e libgcj34
libgcj34-devel manually and retry.

I have yum removed the above files and all that I can find dependecies, for me about 120 packages. went into var/cache/yum ... and deleted both headers and packages of both libgcj and libgcj34.
I then yum install libgcj libgcj-devel, that worked.  If I try installing anything else such as tomcat I get 
Running test transaction:
Errors reported doing trial run
file /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libgcj.pc from install of libgcj34-devel-3.4.0-1 conflicts with file from package libgcj-devel-3.4.1-2
How do I find out the references to libgcj34 or better yet how do I delete everything conserning the files.
